The teenager was expected to survive the shooting, which happened around 9:20 p.m. Sunday in the 2700 block of Treat Street between Broadway and state Route 94, San Diego police Sgt. Ed Zwibel said. The boy was taken to an undisclosed hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound.

San Diego Police Department gang unit detectives were searching for two suspects described as Hispanic men driving a white or silver sedan of unknown make and model, Zwibel said. Those detectives are leading the investigation.

Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the gang unit at (619) 531-2847 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. Tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
